AMAZING place, Ben was so incredible! It was such a pleasure to speak with him about his experience as a seasoned entrepreneur. His place and his advice made the stay perfect! Thanks Ben:) I'll absolutely be back

Kayla2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

Ben's villa was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. I loved the property and its amazing views but also appreciated the opportunity to meet the other guests passing through on their travels. Whenever I visit Berkeley next, I'll definitely be making every attempt to stay here again.

Tucked in the rolling North Berkeley hills you'll find this safe, sweet in-law unit with private entrance, kitchen, sitting room and bedroom. On a direct bus line (or walk) to UC Berkeley campus or downtown, you can access the Bay Area with ease. Enjoy a comfortable retreat and the views of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay right out your window!

Our family home has an attached (separate) small apartment that we'd love to share with a respectful guest or two.

The North Berkeley hills are full of whimsy and charm. Unique homes, unique people, and walking paths that will bring you to Tilden Park, the Gourmet Ghetto, downtown Berkeley, or Solano Ave. World-class dining, creative theater, art & film, and intellectual excursions are all within walking distance or an easy bus ride away.

Audrey was an excellent host. Anytime we needed anything she was very happy to help. The in law sweet is up in the Berkley hills in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook and our bed was really comfortable. Our family really enjoyed our stay.

Junior2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

This place is wonderful. Great house with really nice unit with a separate entrance. Its in a surprisingly unpopulated area relative to the rest of the city, in a good way. Close to the bridge to san fran. The hosts were so generous and really went above and beyond. They have a nice family, the children will be around but they are up front about this. Cant think of anything negative to say it was that good. My boyfriend and I had a perfect time and would happily come again.

A unique experience awaits the traveler in the historic Berkeley Hills. Amidst the archeological haunts of the original Ohlone people, rock parks and pathways entice guests to explore thousands of years of California’s earliest history. The sanctuary is small but crafted for coziness. Indian Rock, with its breathtaking views, is not only a 30 second climb away, the granite protrudes into the unit and a queen size bed is perched upon it.

A fire pit with lounge furniture frames the guest’s own private view of San Francisco. The hand crafted terrace is open for a barbecue. Mini-fridge, micro-wave, and coffee maker fill out a kitchenette.
Climbing gear is available for the adventurous guest if they want to explore the rock up close. Solano Ave with Peets and Starbucks is a 5 minute walk, the Gourmet Ghetto is ten. Two bus lines pass by and make Cal-Berkeley and BART just a 5 minute ride with San Francisco only 30 minutes away. The H bus is a luxurious ride complete with Wifi; without exception, the fastest and cheapest route to San Francisco.

A very elegant hobbit hole, in a spectacular location.

Yoanna2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Being at Indian rock in the hills is a treat, and the little room is really well appointed. Craig has made a cozy cloud of a bed and the shower is as beautiful as it is enjoyable. You can tell this guest room was crafted with care. I slept like a baby!!!

Sara2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Amazing location. It was really cool to be right next to the rock. Also, you can walk down to Solana Ave., very easily.

Jeremy2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We'd like to welcome you to the quiet, and pleasant room on the ground floor of our home. It has a private entrance, deck and bathroom, along with a comfortable double sized bed. The room faces our landscaped backyard so there's plenty of morning and afternoon sun. It includes a fridge and microwave. Enjoy a snack relaxing at the bistro table on your private deck. Our house is situated in a quiet, safe, beautiful neighborhood with Indian Rock Park practically in our front yard.

Newly remodeled private in-law unit in family home with all new fixtures, extremely spacious, comfortable and includes fireplace!
We are a ~5-minute walk to restaurants and coffee (Peet's and Starbucks). Just over a mile from Downtown Berkeley and UC-Berkeley. Very nice & safe neighborhood with easy access to public transportation.
We provide shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion and bath salts.

The house is located at the base of the Berkeley Hills, in a neighborhood called Thousand Oaks. We are within a block of the beautiful Marin Circle Fountain, which was built in 1911 when the city of Berkeley was bidding to become the state capital. Luckily for us, it didn't!
The closest dining & shopping area is on Solano Avenue--approximately a 5-10 minute walk from the house; the street has an old-time feel straddled by a wide range of businesses including coffee shops, bookstores, restaurants, antique dealers, salons, etc.

Had a great stay at Emilies'. The location at the top of Solano is great for our many family doings in El Cerrito and Berkeley. Parking was excellent. The two bedrooms , sitting room, bathroom, coffee and fridge area, and sports arena ( ping pong table) are spacious and newly remodeled. Glad I had time to walk up the hill and take in the fountain and Indian Rock Park.

Loren2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Emilie's place is exquisitely appointed. It is very spacious and was comfortable for a family of four adults. She was also very attentive to our needs, meting us at the door during check-in and communication throughout our stay to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. There are a number of great coffee shops, restaurants, and other shopping options in walking distance. There is also a bus stop across half block away that can take you to the BART station. Great place to stay!

Brett2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

The place is very luxuries, private and clean. The host, Emilie is easily accessible and helpful. I would highly recommend this place, but you probably need a car.

Jadwiga2017-05-18T00:00:00Z

Emilie was so very gracious and communicative both prior to and during our stay. We choice this place because it was dog friendly and close to where I was taking a workshop while my husband had the task of all day dog sitting. The bathroom is stunningly beautiful and I enjoyed both the huge shower and the luxurious bathtub. Emilie made things easy for us with a framed notice on the counter that listed where things could be found like the hair dryer, extra blankets, theWifi and password. Would love to stay here again if/when I take another workshop in Berkeley.

Beth2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

The accommodations suited our purpose.

Mary Ann2017-03-15T00:00:00Z

An in-law suite is truly the best way to AirBnB because you have a quaint home with added privacy. Emilie went above and beyond by setting up an air mattress and deftly accommodating an easy check in and check out. As an FYI to guests, some phones have spotty service in this area, so prepare accordingly.

My stay at Ben's villa could not have been better. I'd just started a new job and being able to escape to the Berkeley Hills was (URL HIDDEN) a world away from the hustle of downtown, but easy enough to commute (as a keen cyclist I had amazing weekend rides from the door). Weekends by the pool, with the view of the whole bay, felt very luxurious. To top it all, Ben was the perfect host: attentive & diligent while being charming & utterly (URL HIDDEN) stay was not only incredibly relaxed, but huge fun. I don't think I could have chosen a better place to start my new adventure in the Bay Area.

Darren2015-07-24T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house with amazing views of SF and Oakland. Ben is a great host and very accommodating. I even extended my stay. Highly recommended.

Ben has created an environment in the Berkeley hills that hosts a variety of experiences. Breathtaking views, unique water features and inspired Spanish architecture lends itself to the creative lifestyle I've been enjoying the past couple of months. But the real wealth of the Villa is the diverse people who reside there. Communal activities can be expected and I am grateful to have made friends with such a fun and diverse group. Thank you for having me Ben!

Michael2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

The house has almost everything not to leave him. Several disappointed indoor pool, if in August cold for him, it is unclear when the heat. The room itself is not for those who will be in it to spend a lot of time. Very liked the area, luxury homes and views even see deer near the house. Did not like that you can not control the heating in the room in the mornings can be quite chilly. About the hosts left a good impression.

Ben, what can I say to those that haven't had the experience of the oasis ? Hard to beat, kool host and the other guests were stellar. I had fun and the much needed privacy one can get when sharing a space. Thank you for taking the time from your busy life to host us. Cheers~

Bear's Lair was the best location in Berkeley. The view was amazing and we loved the neighborhood. Close to everything.

The house is very lovely and cozy. There is a beautiful garden behind the house on second floor. Plants cover most part of the house in the front and back, with flowers blooming during the season. The view of the bay is absolutely amazing, especially during the sunset. Towels and linens are fresh and clean. My parents and I enjoyed every moment in this house. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is coming to Berkeley. Our communication with Limor is quick and clear. She prepared a guide book for the guests, which includes details of the house rule and recommendations of the restaurants and other spots nearby.

Great house! Every room was comfortable and beautiful. We enjoyed the back patio, cooking together in the gorgeous kitchen, and walking around in a wonderful neighborhood in the morning. Totally recommend this house!

We loved the house, especially my mother. It reminded her of the home in Oakland that she grew up in. Comfortable and homey, with a great tea collection. :) I love all the family pictures. The view is great and the proximity to the grocery store, coffee shops and restaurants made it easy to go out and not have to deal with traffic after some long days. Wonderful!

Great little back guest house all to yourself. Clean with all amenities in a beautiful and very safe neighborhood. The sleeping room is upstairs and the small staircase is very steep and the head space once up there is limited, but the bed is super comfy and the neighborhood very quiet so it's very easy to sleep in late. Susan allowed us to bring along our small dog, who really enjoyed exploring the closed in back yard.

Experience the beauty of this luxurious 3 bedroom house located right on the Marin Circle with its historical fountain. House is fully furnished and contains fully equipped kitchen and babies room with a crib suitable for infants and toddlers. One free parking spot available in the garage.

Beautiful and bright house located in the most picturesque part of Berkeley. It is located right on the Marine Circle, so you can enjoy the front yard overlooking the gorgeous fountain. The house has a bonus for the people with babies -- fully equipped baby room.
We provide one king bed and two queen beds. The king bed is in the master bedroom with adjacent bathroom. First queen bed is in a separate full featured bedroom adjacent to the living room. Second queen bed is in the third full featured bedroom. Third bedroom can be converted into baby room because it contains a crib suitable for infants and toddlers.
Kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary cooking equipment and appliances.
House is 1.3 miles from UC Berkeley campus -- 40 minutes walk or 10 min bus ride.

It is upscale but not up the hills, so you get walker's paradise and picturesque houses of Berkeley Hills. Walking distance to Gourmet Ghetto with best Berkeley restaurants, and Solano strip with a supermarket and lots of dining spots (check out Yelp! -- we also list some of our favorite spots in the Guidebook).

We had a lovely two-week stay at Przemyslaw's place. The location is absolutely amazing. We just moved from NYC and this was our first "home" in Berkeley; it couldn't have been a better welcome for us. We loved the neighborhood, and the home is beautiful as well. The hosts were very nice, and when there was an issue with the dryer (not their fault), they handled it promptly and graciously. I really recommend this listing!

Ellen2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

Great place and wonderful hosts. We are a family of five (two kids under two) with my dad and it was perfect. Really enjoyed our stay!

Big old Berkeley brown shingle cluttered,messy house, with 2 friendly cats. Room feels like grandma's sewing room, but without the grandma (yet) or any actual sewing getting done. Very casual environment. No smoking, of course, and respect for quiet hours a given. You have a shared bath, and can use second bathroom. if that one's occupied. It's myself and my long-term housemate/tenant; we both work at UC Berkeley. My college-age son is home summers and vacations as well. I've lived in the area all my life, so I'm a good resource for questions about restaurants, arts, things to do, etc. North Berkeley is a wonderful, leafy, safe neighborhood, and the food choices around town are beyond amazing, some of the best anywhere!
I may be able to help with ride to/from BART sometimes if you need it. Antique double-bed with firm modern mattress, sofa could sleep one as well. Towels, sheets furnished. We'd love to introduce you to our great town! Perfect spot for visiting the UC Berkeley campus!

This is a self-contained two room apartment, fully carpeted, located on the lower level of the main house, but with its own private entrance. It has its own deck with a spectacular view of the bay. The bathroom is the main bedroom, so guests sleeping in the adjacent room will have to access the bathroom through the main bedroom. There's full kitchen. It's small but totally functional. If you love to cook, we can provide you with all manner of spices because we love to cook too.
If you prefer eating out, Berkeley is famous for its variety of good restaurants and we are in walking distance, or just a short drive (1+ miles) away from the famous "gourmet ghetto." There are also two bus lines #67 on Spruce St. and #65 on Euclid Ave. Both will take you to UC campus and downtown Berkeley where you can take BART (subway) to Oakland and San Francisco.
We are surrounded by trees in a quiet safe neighborhood and there's easy street parking.

We have a variety of local parks in close proximity including the extensive Tilden Park with its many hiking trails. There are also smaller parks nearby like the Rose Garden with public tennis courts, the Cordornices Park for kids, and Live Oak Park with picnic facilities. There are a range of great restaurants like the famous Chez Panisse, to ethnic restaurants like the Taste of Himalayas.

Spectacular view from apartment. Great starting point for Wine County and SanFrancisco. Wonderful quiet setting yet close to Gourmet Ghetto for tasty meals.

We stayed at Noel and Yins over Christmas and New Years and had a wonderful time. They are welcoming and helpful, and the apartment suited our needs perfectly. We were lucky to get to know a little about our hosts. They are interesting and fun people to meet, and they added to the success of our visit to the Bay Area. The weather was nice almost all of the time and as Norwegians we’re not used to be able to enjoy our coffee outdoors at Christmas day. This year we enjoyed a nice sunny day on the deck with spectacular view. Few words can describe this view – except maybe – go see for yourself!

For those traveling with children, there are 2 other sleeping options: a pull out sofa suitable for one person and a foam mattress (situated on the floor) suitable for another. In some cases, we'll consider 3 adults but the space is better designed for 2 adults or those traveling with children.
There is a bathroom with a closet and a full tub/shower. Towels, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a hair dryer, umbrella and iron/ironing board are all available.
We have also provided maps and information about the area plus a variety of games:)

This is an incredibly ideal neighborhood and has a high walkability rating. Within moments, you can walk to numerous cafes and restaurants and shops. In addition, a Safeway, CVS, copy store, a vitamin store, and laundromat are all within 5 minutes of the property. The location is ideal!

Staying at Amy's place was a wonderful experience! The description of the cottage was extremely accurate and staying here provided me and my friends a great trip. I would highly recommend staying that Amy's cottage when traveling to Berkeley and the Bay Area.

The AirBnB description of the apartment was accurate, although it overlooked one highlight of the apartment - the tasteful interior decor, mostly in a Chinese style, I gather. The neighborhood is a beautiful residential area in the Berkeley north hills, a bit of a long walk to campus or downtown, but delightful for local walks otherwise. The Botanical Garden is nearby as well.

Hey, my name is Ben. I am a German PhD Student and stayed for about 6 weeks at Edrie's and JoAnn's place. The house is located in a very secure and quite neighborhood in the Berkeley Hills. When you stay at their house, you will have your own room with a bed, desk, and some other furniture. However, you also have access and are warmly welcomed to spend time in the kitchen, garden, or living room (from the latter you see a part of the Golden Gate Bridge). Furthermore, you will have your own bathroom. Your room as well as the whole place is very charming and comfortable. Now comes the important part: What is the benefit of a nice place to stay, if your hosts aren't, right? - Don't worry: Edrie and JoAnn ar(URL HIDDEN)C. They are super kind, helpful, and caring - from the first moment I was there, I felt a warm glow. Edrie and JoAnn didn't just let me stay at their place, but they gave me a home. I literally felt being at home, when I was at their place. These two ladies are awesome. I spend a great time living with them at their house. By the way, there is another great guy living at this place: It's Twig, their Teacup Chihuahua. I am kind of a dog person, but I always thought that these small dogs... ... I don't know ... are kind of weird. However, then I got to know Twig. He is one of the coolest dogs I ever got to know. Just trust me, you will love him. All in all, I have to say that I didn't miss anything and that I didn't regret to stay at this place for one second. It was a terrific experience. Next time I visit Berkeley, I would like to stay there again.

This was my first airbnb experience and it was wonderfully excellent. Edrie and JoAnn were waiting on the porch to welcome me when i arrived. The room was as advertised, comfortable and large with all the necessary amenities. I even had a bathroom to myself. Edrie, JoAnn, and tiny Twig were very friendly but not at all intrusive which was perfect for me. They were also very helpful with suggestions regarding local, restaurants, sights, etc. I am so grateful to them both for opening their home to me and making my stay in Berkeley possible and very pleasant.

My stay was short, just one night, but JoAnn's and Edrie's place was welcoming, quiet and super clean. Comfortable bed, great working desk where I managed to do hours of work, and you get a bathroom all to yourself. I'm not great with dogs but Edrie is expert in training dogs and their foster dog was very compliant! Highly recommended.

I received a warm welcome when I arrived in the afternoon from both Edrie and JoAnn. Edrie got me settled in and oriented. The room was exactly what I needed: I got a great night's sleep after a long international flight. I am back for a brief visit and know the neighborhood well since I've recently moved away from North Berkeley. It is a fun area to be in, nice walks to great places and trees and gardens all around! Thank you for having me. When I need this arrangement again I will certainly check in with you!

Edrie is an awesome host. Room is even better than on the photos. Neighbourhood is great. Visiting Cheeseboard Collective was a great tip from Edrie. And the place is very close to UC Berkeley. Thank you Edrie and Joann, it was a very pleasant time in Berkeley!

Our second time at this lovely apartment. Very comfortable, clean, beautiful view and small outside sitting space. A wonderful space to come to after a hectic day touring Berkeley and SF

Alona2015-05-24T00:00:00Z

My second stay at Lee and Ric's, and I enjoyed it more than ever! A perfect spot which feels like a home away from home. Easy drive to campus or just about anywhere. I enjoyed walking down to the shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Debbie2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

Great apartment in the Berkeley hills, nice neighborhood and very friendly hosts. We enjoyed our stay!

Martina2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful place to stay. I had everything I needed and the location was absolutely perfect. If you like to walk, and hills don't bother you, you can walk pretty much anywhere you want to go. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and Lee made me feel very much at home! I will absolutely be back!

Evelyn2015-03-07T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Lee and Ric's place for a long weekend. Everything imaginable was done for us, except the weather but I bet that if they could have made it better, they would have. Totally enjoyed the place and our stay. Esther and Ralph (Seattle)

Ralph2014-02-18T00:00:00Z

This was our second visit to Ric and Lee's apartment. They are the best of hosts imaginable. They leave you alone entirely, but the minute you need something or contact them for any reason they are right there. The perfect kind of communication! We look forward to many more visits to their beautiful apartment.

Ridie2014-03-18T00:00:00Z

This wonderful Berkeley Hills apartment is indeed lovely. The apartment's location is great--far enough up the Hills for the peace and quiet and bird song--but close enough to walk to the Gourmet Ghetto. And, even downtown! A perfect location. Lee and Ric are attentive and friendly hosts. The apartment is charming and well-stocked. The stone patio is fabulous. Breakfast and dinner there will give you wonderful memories. I recommend the apartment without hesitation. Book here and you will enjoy your stay in Berkeley. Thanks, Lee and Ric!

A detached studio (has no kitchen) behind a single family home in Berkeley located in the North Berkeley Hills, 15 min walking distance to North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. While public transportation is nearby, you will be better off with a car. Easy street parking.

With your reservation request, please let us know the purpose of your trip!
The private studio cottage is located in the backyard, behind a larger single family home. This cottage is completely separate from the main house and is accessed through a rear gate into a shared backyard.
The cottage features a twin-sized mattress, a desk with an ergonomic office chair, a reading chair, a clothes rack with plenty of hangers to hang your clothes, a mini refrigerator, and ample shelf space. The small bathroom has plenty of towels, a hair dryer, and a stand up shower with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There is a full length mirror on the bathroom door.
This space is bright and comfortable. You will literally be sleeping under the stars as the skylight above the bed does not have a curtain. There is internet connection via ethernet cable and wi fi.
We are a family of four (mom, dad, and two school-aged boys) -and our recently rescued dog Trixie- living in the main house and sharing the yard with you. Our dog is very friendly and is not left alone in the backyard.

We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood in the beautiful North Berkeley Hills. We are 1.5 miles from the North edge of U.C. Berkeley's Campus, Downtown Berkeley and BART (Bay Area's Rapid Transit system).
Other close-by amenities include popular hiking in Tilden Park, the beautiful Rose Garden, Live Oak Park, or additional shopping and restaurants on Solano Ave.

Exactly as described, sweet little cottage with its own quasi-private space in the gorgeous backyard. Quiet neighborhood with birds singing away in the morning. Beautiful landscaping in the garden. Lovely goodies awaiting one, such as a bar of chocolate. Felt spacious in the cottage, easy to work and sleep. Felt safe and cozy.

Yeshim's cottage is fantastic. I've stayed here 3 or 4 times before and it's a beautiful location in the hills. Yeshim is always attentive and really quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend this bnb.

The studio was very accommodating and welcoming. Yeshim was a great host who checked in to make sure my needs were met. I appreciated the separate entrance to the studio, so I could come and go without needing to bother anyone.

Elyse2016-05-03T00:00:00Z

Very cozy, super clean, and peaceful cottage with lots of light. Beautiful neighborhood, great downtown area with plenty of places to eat. I always found a place to park across the street. Yeshim is super friendly. This cottage is perfect for the single traveler.

Dan2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay. It is very convenient and a great value.

Joe2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Very nice, cozy spot in the Berkeley hills. Very comfortable bed, private bath, and nice views of the yard and towards the bay below. A quaint, safe and nice spot.

Karl2016-03-04T00:00:00Z

Yesmin made me feel very welcome. She kindly guided me to the cottage when I arrived about 10:30 p.m. and recommended places to eat the following day. It was quiet, private, and clean. The bed was comfortable. When I asked for a softer sheet, she kindly provided. Towels were a bit rough due Berkeley's air dry policy. I would like to come back again. It is perfectly located for a business trip and in a very safe neighborhood. It was a wonderful first AirBNB 1st experience, thanks to the hostess, Yesmin.

Our house is close to UC Berkeley. The room has a double bed, closet, desk, private bathroom and a sunny SF bay view. It has an adjacent private kitchenette that allows some limited cooking. It overlooks the garden and is very quiet. It is located in the lower Berkeley Hills next to a bus stop. It is ideal for scholars and travelers. A bike is available for use.

The bedroom provides a good amount of privacy as it is located on a lower floor from the rest of the house. It has a double bed (1m40) with a comfortable new mattress and down comforter and pillows, a desk, a dresser and a closet with hanging space.
The bathroom for your exclusive use is next to the bedroom. There is also a kitchenette with a small fridge, coffee/tea maker and hot plate next to the bedroom and you have direct access to the garden.

The house is situated in the lower North Berkeley hills. The area is known for its charm, views of the SF bay and Golden Gate bridge, proximity to UC Berkeley, and its unique rock outcroppings such as Indian rock and Cragmont rock (great bouldering). You can go on a beautiful walk right from the house. You can also walk to Shattuck avenue, home of the Cheeseboard collective, Peet's coffee shop, and several markets and restaurants. Solano avenue is also nearby and offers many amenities.

The accommodation is just perfect; one of the best experiences with Airbnb I ever had. The private room is very comfortable and quiet. The house is very close to UC Berkeley. Daniele gave me a bike, which was fantastic, and I could travel around easily. She was very helpful with everything. I would definitively take this offer again when staying in Berkeley.

Daniele was a fantastic host. I really enjoyed my stay at her house and I would love to stay here again in future. The house is beautiful, the view on San Francisco is breathtaking and the room is equipped with everything you need. It's a great place to spend quite time. In addition it is located not far from UC Berkeley; easily accessible by bike. Thank you Daniele for everything!
